For Parents
Curriculum Tooradin Primary School emphasise the concept that all children will have success through the provision of a wide range of programs that develop children as learners. The school’s wide range of policies and programs support a learning environment, which stresses the importance of English and mathematics from prep to grade six. With an increasing emphasis on the application of computers and learning technologies across the classroom curriculum, engaging students in learning are the priorities in our school strategic plan and are supported by the use of iPad's, notebooks and interactive whiteboards.

Core teaching programs are enhanced by the provision of opportunities for participating in the performing arts, sporting activities, school camps and programs for students with particular talents and interests. Specialist programs include Physical Education, STEAM and Italian (LOTE). The Stephanie Alexander Kitchen Garden program runs from Prep through to grade 6.
